Our wooden wick beeswax candle range is more than just a beautiful flame, it’s a slow-living ritual in a jar.
With every light, you’re creating space for stillness and self-connection.
Whether you're setting the tone for your evening wind-down, curating a calming yoga space, or gifting a loved one with a moment of pause, these candles are made to enrich your environment and your well-being.
Each one is thoughtfully crafted to bring warmth, grounding, and sensory clarity to your everyday moments.
Why Choose Wooden Wick Candles?
Wooden wick candles offer a refined burn experience.
Unlike traditional cotton wicks, wooden wicks produce a horizontal flame that spreads heat more evenly across the wax surface. This results in a more consistent melt pool, reducing tunnelling and enhancing scent throw.
The soft crackle as they burn mimics the gentle sound of a fireplace, turning ordinary moments into rituals of calm.
What makes wooden wicks truly special is their ability to combine beauty with function. Not only do they elevate the visual and auditory atmosphere of your space, but they also contribute to a more even, efficient candle burn.
Their gentle, flickering flame adds a sense of presence to your surroundings, encouraging you to slow down and savour the moment.
A Healthier Alternative to Traditional Cotton Wicks.
Many mass-produced cotton wicks are treated with chemicals that can release unwanted toxins into your home, including heavy metals and synthetic stiffeners that can pollute indoor air.
When burned, they may create soot, contribute to allergies, or simply leave you questioning what you're breathing in.
Our wooden wicks are 100% natural and untreated, offering peace of mind with every burn.
They're made from sustainably sourced wood and contain no hidden additives.
When paired with our BP grade beeswax and essential oils, they create an atmosphere that's both safe and serene, free from synthetic ingredients, smoke, or harsh chemicals.
This combination isn't just better for you, it's also better for the environment.
You're supporting a cleaner home, cleaner air, and a candle ritual you can feel good about.
Wooden Wick Candles with Pure Beeswax.
Our wooden wick candles are made with pure BP grade beeswax sourced from our UK suppliers. Beeswax is renowned for its ability to burn longer, cleaner, and brighter than other waxes.
Unlike soy or paraffin, beeswax is naturally free from toxins and synthetic processing, making it the perfect companion to our untreated wooden wicks.
When burned, beeswax emits negative ions that can help neutralise pollutants like dust, mould, and odours in the air. This makes every burn not just beautiful but beneficial to your home environment.
The subtle, naturally sweet aroma of beeswax complements our essential oil blends without overpowering your senses.
Together, beeswax and wooden wicks create a harmonious candle experience, offering a brighter flame, less soot, and a deeply grounding energy.
It’s the ultimate clean-burning combination for those who value both wellbeing and sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Wooden Wick Candles.
Are wooden wick candles better than cotton wicks?
Wooden wicks offer a more even burn, fewer additives, and less soot. They’re also visually and audibly more engaging, enhancing both atmosphere and air quality.
Are your wooden wick candles non-toxic?
Absolutely. We use only beeswax, essential oils, and wooden wicks, with no paraffin, artificial dyes, or synthetic fragrances.
Why is my wooden wick candle smoking?
Excess smoke usually means the wick is too long. Gently trim the charred wood to around 5mm before each burn to maintain a clean flame and minimise soot. Learn more about Candle Care.
How do I trim a wooden wick properly?
Once the candle has cooled, use your fingers or wick trimmers to remove the blackened tip of the wick. This helps ensure your candle relights easily and burns cleanly.
Why won’t my wooden wick stay lit?
If your wick struggles to stay lit, it may be too long or too short. Make sure it’s trimmed to 5mm and allow the wax to fully melt to the edges during the first burn.
Do wooden wick candles crackle?
Yes. Our wooden wicks offer a subtle, calming crackle that adds a sensory dimension to your space, without overwhelming sound.
What wax works best with wooden wicks?
We use only 100% BP grade beeswax, a clean, slow-burning wax that pairs exceptionally well with wooden wicks for a natural, non-toxic burn.
